Abstract

Borehole thermal energy storage system can store thermal energy by adopting the existing borehole heat exchangers, which reduces the cost of constructing the storage system and facilitates the long-term stable operation of borehole heat exchangers. In this paper, the operating parameters of a medium-shallow borehole heat exchanger with depth of 1000 m are optimized for achieving borehole thermal energy storage purposes. The heat source is 65 ℃ hot water provided by a photovoltaic solar thermal system, and the optimized parameters include heat storage flow rate and heat storage time. The results show that the smaller the heat storage flow rate, the higher the energy storage efficiency, but the less heat is stored; the heat storage time has a small impact on the heat storage efficiency, basically maintained at about 36%. The research in this paper clarifies the influence of each operation parameter on the performance of the borehole thermal energy storage system, which brings references for the similar borehole thermal energy storage system.
